Abstract
An ultra-wideband slot antenna on flexible substrate is designed to support a wide range of wireless communication systems. The antenna is a rectangular slot antenna fed by microstrip line with conductor strip and tuning stub on flexible substrate (Mylar Polyester film). The rectangular slot is etched out from the ground plane with conductor strip in the slot, and the other plane contains a microstrip line with tuning stub. The proposed antenna’s effective frequency range covers overall standard bands of WLAN, WiMAX, and UWB. The antenna was simulated and analyzed by using IE3D Zeland software [1]. And the simulation results presents the characteristics of the antenna in terms of bandwidth return loss, VSWR, and radiation patterns.
